Use Beautiful Ocean Beach with Parking Pass

South County and Quonnie Pond, provide a wide range of recreational opportunities
from water activities to museums. Water fun is minutes away: with access to a private beach on the Atlantic Ocean at Weekapaug. While the
white sands of the Misquamicut State Beach or the town of Charlestown's beaches are available,
the private ocean beach at Weekapaug used by Shady Harbor residents is most appealing of all. Renters have use of
a beach pass for this ocean beach at Weekapaug while at the house. You can take long walks down the shoreline without
encountering large crowds, even in the height of the summer season. Only a short drive
further brings you to historic Watch Hill, one of the most famous and
historic New England beach communities with unique boutiques, arts and
crafts shops, outstanding restaurants and the world renowned flying horse
carousel. Golf, tennis, deep sea fishing and more are only minutes away. On
the pond you will be able to boat or kayak and enjoy the beauty of the area
from the water. Kayak rentals are available in the area. There are also bike
rentals nearby. With the 15 MPH speed limit in the community, it is a safe
place for everyone to ride bikes and walk.
